Thomas (17) came to us in 2008, with a wound still open some four months after injury.

His burns were caused by a relative throwing a hot pan of burning oil out of a hut door, because it had caught fire. Thomas did not get out of the way in time.

But Thomas’ real pain is from problems other than burns. In April he returned to the place of safety where he was living, with a recommendation for regular counselling as well as counselling with his military-career father. Thomas has no knowledge of the whereabouts of his mother.
